William and Kate have been learning football and hurling skills at a GAA club in Galway.

The couple visited Knocknacarra GAA in Salthill, where Under-10 players were showing off their skills.

It was the final stop for William and Kate in what's been a three-day tour of the country.

This future GAA star was impressed with the pair.

"I thought they were really good for the first time."

"Their last two shots were beautiful."

"Will hit the post and Kate hit the crossbar!"

Not Just GAA On The Menu

Earlier they visited Tig Ceoili - a  pub that is famous for its daily trad sessions.

While Ronan O'Flagherty - whose brother runs the pub - played the fiddle for William and Kate.

He says his brother booked him for the gig but refused to tell him who it was for.

"My brother was driving me mad for months."

"All he told me was, it was a big one and asked me to round up the troops."

Shop Street Superfan

Michelle Rogers is a superfan of Princess Diana, and wanted to give Prince William a photo she took of her.

"I met her 37 times, this was the last time I met her before she died."

"I'll just explain I met his mum lots of times and was really lucky to meet his mum lots of times."

"I would love to give him this photo."

But Did She Get To Meet Him?

Today was the final day of their visit.
